Yes, when the user language is e.g. English, the 69-language-selector-zh-*.conf files are not in effect.
But if I understand it correctly, the default (if that's the correct way to say it) of Noto is not Chinese, but Japanese. At least Japanese is listed first in a fc-match listing, when no fontconfig .conf files are in effect; please see: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1540063/comments/16 So possibly fonts-noto-cjk may result in proper rendering out of the box for any CJK language, as long as no fontconfig .conf file messes it up. That's why I found it worth a try to put those Japanese lines first in 64-language-selector-prefer.conf. tomoe_musashi reported in comment #81 that if does not affect Chinese rendering. (The issue he mentioned - *Takao* used in Firefox for non- lang-specified content - appears to be unrelated.) So, Aron, can you please test? Sure, if the Japanese lines in 64-language-selector-prefer.conf affect Chinese rendering adversely, we should move them downwards (and with that make it worse for Japanese...). But there is no reason to prefer Chinese over Japanese just for the sake of it, is there? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to language-selector in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1468027 Title: change default CJK fonts to Noto CJK Status in Fontconfig: Fix Released Status in kubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in language-selector package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in lubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in xubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: just realize that fonts-noto-cjk is available in the repository, finally its packaged. i don't really know about korean community. But for Chinese and Japanese community, i think that the answer is clear. noto-cjk is definitely better what we had before, like fonts- wqy and fonts-droid. Android community had received these complains for years, finally they got them fixed on lollipop. Fedora also set it as default chinese font start from F21. and of course, i still hope that ubuntu could drop those 69-language-selector fontconfig files, just like what F13 did.
